Clownster Comedy

So, yes, this is another comedy review site (like Chortle… only less professional, exhaustive or well written) but these are just my opinions so hardly deserve gospel status. I have been watching live comedy for around 15 years and I have to say that I 100% admire anyone who has the guts to take to a spot lit stage in front of an unknown crowd armed with just a microphone and their wits. It’s a profession that I know I could not do and for that I doff my tiny bowler hat to them.

Strictly Carl Donnelly (2018)

Carl Donnelly has quickly become a clown that I will always try to catch at the Fringe. I first came across him for the most ridiculous of reasons, we were going through the program whilst impressively drunk and I saw... Continue Reading →

Andrew Maxwell: Shake a Leg (2018)

On a day of great shows (Larry Dean & Pierre Novelli) we had chosen Andrew Maxwell as the closing act, the coup de grace, the finale. And once again this clown stuck a cherry on top of an almost perfect... Continue Reading →

Pierre Novellie: See Novellie, Hear Novellie, Speak Novellie (2018)

Following on from last years truly brilliant show Pierre Novellie had become one of the first names on the team sheet when it came to buying tickets for this years Fringe. Even though he has been performing for years I... Continue Reading →

I must start this review with an odd thank you, due to this venue only having a tiny and (respectfully) quiet bar we were forced to find another nearby. We stumbled in to 'The Nightcap', a basement bar located almost... Continue Reading →

Ciarán Dowd: Don Rodolfo (2018)

The life and times of Don Rodolfo Martini Toyota, the World’s greatest Spanish/Irish swordsman wearing eyeliner… where on earth are we supposed to start with this? It turns out that the answer to that excellent question is quite obviously -... Continue Reading →

Ella Woods: Wing Defence (2018)

You ever wonder how many souls ended up in the same twisted circus tent as Ella Woods for the same delusional reasons I did? The story begins with me emerging from a soul-crushing breakfast experience at the godforsaken 'Hemma,' a... Continue Reading →

Mr Swallow and the Vanishing Elephant (2018)

This performer has become an absolute must see for me over the last few years. As soon as I discovered he was bringing his ever-increasing bag of trick to this year’s Fringe the tickets were bought. Nick Mohammed’s character “Mr... Continue Reading →

Larry Dean: Bampot (2018)

How was this show just a fiver? At this years Fringe Larry Dean had to not only deal with the break-up of his relationship but also face the fact that every single one of his audience members this year would... Continue Reading →

Abandoman: Pirate Radio (2018)

"I came to get down, I came to get down, so get out your seat and jump around!" When breaking in an Edinburgh Fringe newbie the temptation is to just go for the big name acts, the guaranteed bangers, the... Continue Reading →
